The impact would be great it would possibly freeze the work or melt the polar ice caps and flood the world to were we would invent technology light years away.
Ok, assuming "mj" in the question is Megajoules MJ) you need a total amount of rotational kinetic energy in the fly wheel at the beginning of the trip that equals
(2.4e6 J/km)x(300 km)=7.2e8 J
The expression for rotational kinetic energy is
E = (1/2)Iω²
where I is the moment of inertia of the fly wheel and ω is the angular velocity.
So this comes down to finding the value of I that gives the required energy. We know the mass is 101kg. The formula for a solid cylinder's moment of inertia is
I = (1/2)mR²
We want (1/2)Iω² = 7.2e8 J and we know ω is limited to 470 revs/sec. However, ω must be in radians per second so multiply it by 2π to get
ω = 2953.1 rad/s
Now let's use this to solve the energy equation, E = (1/2)Iω², for I:
I = 2(7.2e8 J)/(2953.1 rad/s)² = 165.12 kg·m²
Now find the radius R,
165.12 kg·m² = (1/2)(101)R²,
√(2·165/101) = 1.807m
R = 1.807m
Acceleration is found if we have the force and mass.
With the following equation: F = ma, we can find the missing values.
F = 25n
M = 0.5 kg
a = ?
a = f/m
a = 25/0.5
a = 50
a = 50 m/s
So, the acceleration is 50 m/s^2
In science, a broad idea that has been repeatedly verified so as to give scientists great confidence that it represents reality is called "a theory".
<u>Explanation:</u>
In science, the interpretation of a feature of the organic world that can be tested in repeat manner and analysed by applying agreed tests validation methods, calculation and observation in according to the scientific method, such process is called as a theory in science.
The difference lie between a theory and a hypothesis. Because hypothesis is an "educated guess". Overall it is either a proposed interpretation of an observed phenomenon, or a logical inference of a possible causal association between several phenomena.
